Women make tremendous contributions to the world, yet many remain unknown or forgotten. The Women’s Pavilion in collaboration with Cartier at Expo 2020 challenges this imbalance by taking visitors on a journey through the remarkable achievements of women across the globe.

The pavilion showcases the exceptional accomplishments of women, world-famous and unknown. Immerse yourself in the triumphs of women through history, discover the journeys women have taken to claim their equality and dive into the stories of the inspirational women shaping our future.

Under the title “New Perspectives”, the Women’s World Majlis programme invites you to recognise a fundamental principle: when women thrive, humanity thrives.

The programme highlights the impact women have made on society and shines a light on their often forgotten contributions. By shifting perspectives, we embrace the infinite approaches to a more balanced world.

A common vision for a unique collaboration; sustainable development goals and aspirations for a peaceful and prosperous world cannot be achieved without gender equality and women’s empowerment.

Sharing this vision, Expo 2020 Dubai and Cartier celebrate women changemakers around the globe, asserting our conviction that innovative collaboration between the private sector, civil society and committed individuals is the pathway to meaningful change.

Future Boards Cross-Border Dialogue: Women on Boards and in Top Management Teams

On the occasion of Water Week at Expo 2020 Dubai, the Swedish Pavilion hosts a series of seminars between March 23rd and 25th, featuring keynote speakers to address the challenges associated with water management and accessibility, and showcase sustainable innovations and practice solutions from around the world.

The first day of this special event is dubbed "Water Scarcity", in which distinguished guest speakers tackle this eminent issue by presenting real-life examples from across the globe.

First on stage is Silati Tofuola, Commissioner General in Tuvalu, who sheds light on the effect of climate change on the island's water resources.

Joining the session on screen is Senior Lecturer and Lead Researcher, Kevin Winter, who discusses the devastating drought that hit Cape Town in 2018, and the city's reselience and preparations to be a water sensitive city by 2040.

Also taking the stage is Rosebell Kagumire, writer, campaigner, and pan-African feminist, addressing the issue of women empowerment and the role of African women in the fight against water scarcity.

Finally, Arthur Demarest, an Ingram Professor of Anthropology, shares stories from history that demonstrate how water - while being the basis of our lives - is also an "existential" cause of conflict. He illustrates lessons learned from the 'inseparability of water and war' by applying Crisis Management and Network Theory models.

Sweden’s vast forests are places of magic, beauty and solitude. The Sweden Pavilion offers visitors an enchanting blend of cultures, combining a Nordic woodland-inspired experience with Middle Eastern architectural flair for a tour of the bio-circular economies and sustainable initiatives of tomorrow. The pavilion’s tree-filled design leads visitors through a variety of “clearings”, where interactive multimedia exhibits present an array of themed topics. Explore next-generation travel systems, immerse yourself in futuristic cities and relax to the authentic sounds of Sweden’s rich woodlands.

The essence of the forest inspires the Sweden Pavilion, which fuses dense Nordic woodland and Islamic geometric design in a plaza full of cozy tree house structures and hundreds of tree trunks, some as tall as 18 metres. The building’s airy ground floor is built for wandering, housing public areas, exhibitions, and cafés, while the tree house conference rooms are raised aloft, forming a roof over parts of the pavilion.
